"Big Louie" eases onto SEN's runway 06. I grew up 3 miles out along that approach path in the Sixties and have the Carvair and the other classic props of the time to thank for firing my aviation interest

One of the last Superfreighters to survive, seen just after acquisition by Midland Air Cargo; she never entered service with them although they did operate G-APAU and G-APAV. Broken up in 3.74 at an age of just 20 years

An order by BAF for the 146 was never forthcoming, despite this demo paint job, although they did short-term lease some 200s and a 300 later on. This, the fourth-built 146, was later re-registered by the RAF, Dan-Air, Merpati, National Jet Systems and Debonair, eventually being broken up at Adelaide in 5.09 after use by Qantas Airlink in 2001 and return to National Jet

Once Court Line's G-AXMI (del. 3.70), this 1-11 is seen here in temporary colours having freshly arrived from Dan-Air with whom it served as G-BDAE from 3.75. After her BWA career which included several lease periods with Sabena, she ended her days marked with 'Fresh' titles for filming and then British Heart Foundation titles/logos for a charity promotion just before the final chop in April 2006

This, the 10th Carvair conversion, was delivered to BUAF in 8.63 but immediately went to work with Alisud in Italy for six months. Changing name from "Channel Bridge" to "Big Joe" when BUAF became BAF in 1967, she was bought by TAR in 3.69 but leased back in 4.72, reverting to G-ASKG with BAF in 3.73. To Congo 2.75; broken up as 9Q-CTI at Kinshasa in 1995
